The atmosphere behind the goal had already gone flat. The moment the fifth went in, the home crowd just stopped singing entirely.

I'll admit the finer points of European tactics aren't my area, but a first red card while still goalless and pointless is a fear I've seen echoed, on a different scale, in J.League promoted sides too.
